Oooh, that first bunny looks MAD....like the idiot baker dropped a bag of flour right in front of him and ruined his nice brown skin.

sacrifice bunny looks pretty content and yummy. the bowl of dip in the belly is a bit weird....

and that Trojan Carrot us unnerving (love the leaves on the back) but why does the bunny have Princess Lei rolls by his head AND ears? Is he wearing earmuffs? is he going to explode something in there?

I think the bread has a serious yeast infection, and the Alien face hugger is really a monkey! Love the dip 'n' eat bunny -- gross to the max, and would look good next to the lamb cake from yesterday! And what's with the bleeding eyes on the Trojan Rabbit?Yummy!

Well, five Monty Python references would be right out! Although the...er...ahem..."powdered" bunny would explain how it got to be a creature so foul and cruel, but I'm still at a loss on how it got such big, nasty, pointy teeth! :P

I am so having the Exploded Belly Dip Bunny for my next party! My morbid humor loves it. I am a bit concerned about the hugs bunny. Is he going to hug me with his legs? Are those his legs? Would that hug be sexual harrassment?

Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.And thy foe is thy bakers, that insist on decorating thus, and yet provide us with everlasting mirth

#4 Fancy writing on heart-shaped cookie, check. Place cookie upside-down on bunny cake, morphing same into... if it had sneakers, I could almost make a case for the red, hairy monster from Bugs Bunny (I'm sure at least 100 people know both the name of the monster and the name of the cartoon in question).

#5 The original concept for this carrot cake (ahem) must have made some kind of sense. They should have replaced the sheep / bunny with a baby, though.

YES, the bunny dip bread is from Taste of Home. I still have that clipping in my recipe binder, and I make the bunny bread every year -- without the gaping dip wound though. One year I gave it a jelly bean belly button. A jellybellybutton?

Those are just terrifying. That last one looks like its been nibbling on brains since that looks like blood dribbling down onto his chin. I'd scream and run away from those things before I'd ever consider eating one.

The first one (the rainbow bread) is actually pretty good... I used to purchase it when I could find it... Though that is the first time I've seen it like that. Used to be a swirl pattern through each slice. Was kinda cool and made for a fun lunch for the kids...

Yes, the bread bunny with dip is from Taste of Home. I just happened to see it on the website yesterday when looking for Easter recipes lol. Here is a link to it:http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Easter-Bunny-Bread

Ok, the fantasy bread bunny would be fine if A) they had the eyebrows positioned so he didn't look like a murderous fiend, and B) he didn't look like a drug runner. The rest of the shape looked well done. Though I'm why someone would WANT bread in that shape is a totally different discussion. :P

The last one is a raccoon who has commandeered the Carrotmobile and is driving around the country spreading his message on the importance of washing your hands. Or something. Certainly nothing to do with Easter.

What in the heck were some of those things, LOL~! The bread bunny would not be so bad if they didn't make that chicken salad look like belly button lint, and I must say I kind of like the rainbow bread.

Lmao at the Trojan rabbit that looks like a cross between a sheep and a carrot. I could be wrong though. I am very frightened at the multicolored loaf of bread. Who would eat it? Man I can't wait for Sunday so the nightmares stop lol.

Loaves of bread are, indeed, a time-honored Easter classic. I've eaten traditional German bunny-shaped rolls on Easter since my early childhood. And also rainbow braided bread. Granted, in both cases they were much better than the breads pictured...

Second - Happy Earth Day! In my reading your site over the past 4hrs, I came across the FAQs (which were handy for solving my own confusion of what CCC stood for*) and got caught up on the EPCOT scenario. OMG, too funny. Quite ironic that I found all that today, Earth Day. Or Irthday as John would say (very clever, John - I loved it!). Actually, as a few bloggers put it - it was terribly frustrating to read the same stupidity over and over**. And I only read 10 or 20! I can't fathom how you can tolerate reading 50 billion (give or take 50 billion) of these potentially every day.

Jen - take heart in knowing that you are brilliant; you can't expect the masses to be able to keep up with your wit, knowledge, innuendos and humor (which, being brilliant, you already know!). But you bring great amusement to those of us who DO get it (and clearly also amusing to the less cerebrally endowed otherwise you wouldn't have their visits and idiotic posts). I remember first finding your website a couple years ago and the first thing I noticed was your wit and punny writing (it was a blog with fish jokes - just for the halibut), the second thing I noticed was your impeccable spelling, grammar and punctuation. Within minutes, I was laughing so hard that I was crying and snotting (yes, I make up words. after all, languange is morphic). In fact, I was "studying" in the library - merely taking a quick break, of course - and they had to kick me out because I couldn't control my guffawing, snorting and chortling and was disturbing people who were REALLY studying.

Anyway, I wish you and John a Happy Earth Day Irthday. And I wish the bloggers a Happy EPCOT day. I do believe Meagan from 2010 owes you an Earth Day cake.... I expect pictures come Monday!

NOTES TO FELLOW BLOGGERS:*Note how I did a bit of research to solve the dilemma myself before hounding busy Jen. Self-sufficiency.**You don't have to read ALL the other comments - just skim the most recent 10 or so. If they're ALL saying the same thing you want to say - DON'T bother! Even if what you ALL say is correct and true, you look stupid saying it for the 2,000th time.

Ah, Rainbow bread -- that's a fun bit of nostalgia from the early ninties. It STILL shows up regularly. The kind I used to get had GREEN CRUSTS. Honest to goodness. I used to love making people go "EEEEEEEEW" when I was in kindergarten by thinking I had moldy bread, and then I'd show them the rainbow and suddenly everyone wanted my sandwich.

One of these days, I need to special order it on a decent Italian bread rather then a wonder-esk bread and eat it again just for the sake of the joy of doing so.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
